what is Rice pudding?

There are different variations of arroz con leche in Latin America, this is my family recipe and it is simple and very easy to make. It’s basically a dessert made with rice, milk, sugar and cinnamon. It will be the highlight of any meal.

This Colombian-Style rice pudding is sweet, creamy and delicious. The rice pudding will thicken more as it cools, so be careful not to overcook it. The best part of making this rice pudding recipe for a dinner party is that you can make it the day before and it will taste even better after chilled in the fridge overnight.

This is one of my favorite Colombian desserts. I hope you enjoy making my simple and easy Rice pudding recipe!

notes

• Arroz pudding can stay in the fridge up to 4 days.
• I like to use long grain rice to make this arroz con leche recipe
• If your rice is still hard or crunchy when all the liquid has been absorbed, add ¼ cup of more milk and ¼ of water and return to a simmer with the lid on.
• This rice pudding recipe is sweet, if you prefer your dessert less sweet add less sugar.
